And by "scheduled" I mean totally spontaneous.

My job making sure  phraggle walks away the champion Fraggle Rock fan is complete.

Now bring on the kangaroos.

Thank you guys for putting up with me and my harassment of throwing a vote to my pal  phraggle. While we still have less than half a day to go in voting, your help has put the guy up into the four figures, and is currently 200 votes ahead of second place. I'm not calling it a win until the timer clicks to zero, but 200 votes in front is a comfortable place to be.

I'll give it one more push in the morning, but please -- if you haven't voted yet, do so now! Let's see how high this number can go!

It's so awesome!

But it's not good enough. Not only is  phraggle still 80 votes shy of first place with three days to go, it's obvious that there are a couple people campaigning just like me to close the gap...and those Fraggle Rock pictures aren't anywhere near as awesome as  phraggles.

Seriously. If you clicked this journal and haven't voted for  phraggle's Fraggle Rock picture, please do it now. Your vote counts more than you may realize.

Click that link, then use your Facebook or Twitter account (preferably both for twice the votes) to cast a vote for my pal  phraggle.

You. You're amazing.

But only if you've clicked this link:

And used either your Twitter or Facebook accounts to throw  phraggle a vote.

If you haven't yet, please do. This is definitely one of those "every vote matters" thing, and there's about a hundred votes separating  phraggle's entry with second place.

I really, really want to see him win this thing. He deserves it.

If you've already voted, you're amazing. If you haven't, well, you still have a chance to be amazing. Click here:

And click one of the two "Vote" buttons on the right of the page.

Thanks. I will remember this!

See this guy? This guy right here?  phraggle

Phraggle has to be the biggest Fraggle Rock fan out there, and he's entering an art contest that was clearly made for him.

Please go here:

And use your Twitter account to cast a vote for his Fraggle piece. It only takes a few seconds, and every vote gets him one step closer to getting him a foot in Henson's door. Where he belongs.

You don't have to sign up for anything, and once you've voted you've done a great service to all Fraggle kind.

I'm a Tweeter.

Checking my custom Steve Jobs device has informed me that a certain yellow fuzzball --  raccoondrew -- is one year older and probably one notch fatter.

 raccoondrew is one of the good ones. I know this for a fact. Spoil him.

Seriously, guys, if you've ever clicked on the "Macro" tag on this site, you need to at least consider tossing these guys a few bones.

The Godzilla fighters weren't half bad, and that's the starting point for this game.

 Frindle brought this to my attention.

There's some "odd" stuff elsewhere in the archive so don't start adventuring outwards unless you've prepared yourself! But this one's awesome...though I'm obviously a little biased.

Hey, are you good at making single color dot-matrix (tamagotchi-style) visuals?

Show me your skillz and let's talk. I have a tiny project for you.

To the people I saw in Beantown over the last weekend, you know who you are and you are awesome. And for those that are there that didn't know...I didn't snub you, I swear!

Get it out of your system. Throw all your St. Patrick's Day puns at me, I can take it.

Draw kangaroos.

Sincerely, me.

I think this year I'm going to start randomly tormenting more folks. If your interested in the possibility of giant green 'roo torment, note me your AIM name. I understand privacy, so NOTE it to me if you don't want other people to know it.

For my sanity, I'm not giving out my address to all, or adding everyone who asks. I'm a huge fan of being random and spontaneous...so just giving me your IM address isn't going to bring a giant green 'roo stomping.

Yep, I'll be at Further Confusion this upcoming weekend. If I'm not romping around in the green you'll likely find me in the dealer's room: I'm  teaselbone's muscle again this year, so if you track me down, I will make sure you buy a sketch or twenty so he can eat. And don't use the "I don't have cash" excuse...he now takes credit cards!

In the last few days I've gotten a slow, steady increase of watchers...and I'm curious why! I certainly appreciate the support, but did I, like, show up on some ad banner or billboard or something? What's driving people to my unexciting watcher page?

Whatever traditions you follow, enjoy them today, this week, and whatever's left of this month.

And if those traditions involve gifting giant green kangaroos, I take an XXXXXXXXXXXXL.

I'm thankful that you guys put up with a giant green kangaroo's daily shenanigans. For better or worse.

And for rapid repair crews to take care of those daily shenanigans.

I don't usually do the pimping, but in this case...

 nyo has a bargain going on. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6882296/

25 bucks got me this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6903458/

With this thrown in for NOTHING BUT A SMILE: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6903729/

A freakin' bargain. Hit her up or I'm coming after you.

But I've got nothing to offer but a "thanks for looking up."

...and possibly some torment.

I'm trying to track down an image someone drew that had me as a cameo in it.

The picture was likely drawn about three or four years ago, of Inspector Gadget's dog Brain, looking all scared and hugging a small plush version of Duncan while he's laying in bed.

It looks like I was a bad 'roo and lost the image -- I can't seem to find it in my archives and I can't seem to find it on FA. I can't even remember the name of the artist that drew it!

Think you have what it takes to find it? Help!

I'm getting an itch to throw some monies at artists who tickle my fancy. But I'm terrible with ideas (Just ask my previous commissionees...most of my requests are "giant green kangaroo...go!")

I've done this before and I got a couple of fun ideas out of it, so I'm doing it again.

Your character. A giant green kangaroo. What's happening?

Keep it clean, keep it creative, and I just might surprise you and get it done.

While some of us are very quiet and patient when it comes to commissions we've paid for, and might leave you alone to work on it on your time and schedule, that doesn't mean we wouldn't appreciate an unsolicited update on the project every once in a while.

This passive-aggressive public service announcement brought to you by "Duncan needed to put a new journal entry up to bump down his birthday thanks."

Thank you everyone for going out of your way to make my birthday feel like it's a really special day. I don't know what I do to deserve the attention...but I'll eventually figure it out and keep doing it!
